what was that doesn't that krailert have a wife then why ...... and i think that veera he likes his wife too .....…
Krailert only has a wife because his boss, the General, basically threatened him into marrying his daughter (which is pretty cruel to her because for sure no one told her she was marrying a gay man), after the army killed his boyfriend (the actor). I'm not sure Krailert had all that much choice in the matter. But yes, he's cheating on her.
At the end, Naran "decoded" the message that Krailert had "hidden" in his reply in the newspaper (the two of them have been exchanging music reviews using pseudonyms for a while) so Naran knew where Klai Rung (? not sure about the name Krailert was using when he wrote his articles) would be at a certain time, so he went there (to the library). So it was the first time the two men knew who the other was in real life, and evidently the sparks flew!
Okay, so Victor's father is Russian, or was speaking Russian?
Well, I just have a hard time understanding how a production company like BoC, so not some fly-by-night company, would have such an obvious translation error of an English word (meaning that in English we use the word "Communist") in English subs. But maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Right! I watched part of the recent White Lotus season and understood from that that there are a large number of Russians in Thailand now, but it sounds like Victor's father may not have been part of a large group. Then again, we know he's a writer so maybe he writes eulogies for any of the deceased who are part of that church, so maybe just Christians and not Russians? This is all probably way too much speculation. 😂
🤣 No insult intended! I just assumed you weren't a much older Russian who'd lived in Thailand in the late 1960s. 😉😄

Ha ha! I also thought of KP but since I heard "Communists" I was surprised and confused. But a translation error? Not sure I agree but could be.
Ah, yes, maybe but why Thailand? And how did he end up married to his Thai wife? Then again...why not Thailand? Maybe he wanted somewhere warm and less oppressive?
Was there a large Russian ex-pat community in Thailand/Bangkok then?
I hope all of our questions will be answered by the end! And very happy to have an "expert" in our midst. 😁

Thanks very much! I think the subs I had used the word "priest" and not "reverend" but maybe my brain processed priest. I just assumed that he wasn't talking about a Thai monk so wondered why so many Russians were dying recently. Maybe the father got into some trouble in Russia and decided to leave? Like you said, I guess we'll see. But speaking of Communists, the subs I had translated that word as "Mafia" during the exchange that Trin and Victor had when Trin ran into Victor pasting up the flyers. Trin was telling him that the land the students were protesting over was in a risky/dangerous area, full of "thieves and _____." We could hear Apo say "Communists" but the sub said "Mafia," which is not the same thing at all!

Ah, thanks! And yes, I guess so? And can we assume that the priest who would receive the eulogies is Russian Orthodox? Meaning that the deceased are Russians?
I finally rewatched it after my initial watch over a year ago and I can say that I liked it even more the second time. It's dark and difficult and twisted, but also moving and healing. The final shot will stay with me forever.

Speaking of second seasons, we're getting another season of 25 Ji and I could not be more thrilled!!!!
